UK drivers face being “priced off the road” as forecourts continued to raise prices despite falling wholesale costs. The RAC says the hikes are unjustifiable and retailers must cut pump…

One woman started a Mumsnet thread asking: am I being unreasonable to want to weep at fuel costs?

And a third said: "Between petrol/gas/electric I'm really, really feeling the pinch more than usual. Not much left after paying for those plus groceries." RAC fuel spokesman Simon Williams estimated that retailers are making a "shocking" 19p profit on every litre of fuel they sell, more than three times the pre-pandemic figure of 6p.

"The wholesale petrol price, which is what retailers pay to buy new supply, dropped by 10p from mid-November, so we can’t see how any increase – let alone a 3p one – was warranted."
